| Abstract |
Tests were carried out by 10 divers at depth of 5m in water at +0.1°C with a view to evaluating a 5-finger rubber glove worn over a synthetic-fibre inner glove. Sections cover: test environment (diving suit, glove system); test persons; test equipment and testing procedure (testing of hand motoricity, tactile discrimination, static grip strength and endurance; recording of temperatures and cardiac rhythm); presentation of results (hand, foot and body-core temperatures; thermal protection afforded by glove system; test results); discussion, conclusions and recommendation calling for tests at higher pressure (i.e. greater depths). |
